Celtic style pub located in vibrant downtown Asheville, NC

Welcome to Jack of the Wood

Jack of the Wood is a cozy Celtic style pub located in vibrant downtown Asheville, NC. Since opening our doors in 1996 we’ve been one of Asheville’s favorite places to come and relax, listen to music, and enjoy fresh, locally sourced pub fare. We’re the original home of Green Man Brewing, specializing in hand crafted English ales. Sit back and hear the fiddlers play at one of our informal acoustic jam sessions while enjoying our charming old world atmosphere and a pint of one of our classic ales.

On a typical evening at Jack’s you’ll find many of the patrons gathered around the black walnut bar or at long wooden tables engaged in conversation. Others play darts or scan the papers while sipping a pint or munching on a plate of fish and chips. When local musicians are fiddling away on Irish reels or picking some old time mountain music in the corner, you can blink your eyes and imagine yourself in the Celtic Isles or an early American tavern.

A wonderful bunch of people call Jack’s their local pub but are not opposed to sharing. Hope to see you soon!
